The Road Trip through the Awesome Mountains of SALTA was
a wonderful experience! There were so many majestic colors playing
in the landscape! Greens, reds, blues, tints of purple could be seen!
The photos below will give you an idea of the powerful beauty.
There were two huge caverns which we entered!
The first one was tall and powerful, the name is Garganta del Diablo!
"The Mouth of the Devil!"
The second is called, El Anfiteatro.... "The Amphitheater."
There were small piles of rocks inside the caverns. The legend of the caverns promise that if
you place a rock on one of the piles and make a wish, it will come true!
Above are two men playing music in the Acoustic Cavern. The sound of string instruments and flutes bellowed off the walls! The music was emotionally moving!
This young lady was cooking on an open fire next to the caverns. She took the hot coals from the fire
and placed them under a grill. Next she made grilled sandwiches which she sold to the travelers!
Below is a photo of her stand where she makes and cooks the local food!
This vegetation was growing on the side walls of the cavern. The plant has
a silver shine to the leaves. It was very lovely!
What will we learn about next?
You'll find out soon!
